SPOILERS!!! Dare I say anything? Let's just say that Merv will be smiling.

There's an article by Delme Parfitt in yesterday's South Wales Echo (New Roof Won't Put a Dampener on Wales Grand Slam Mission). No one knows if the GPS thing is just a theory or if Les Bleus are just being naughty and trying to wind us up (perish the thought!). They've just shown some film of Merv on BBC.

Heard nothing about GPS - here's all I have seen: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17407611

I wonder if the French players have machine-readable GPS microchips implanted in their skulls?  The mind boggles...

Sheer joy to see those films. I hope Merv has a lovely rugby pitch where he is, bless him.

I expect you've read about the French refusing to have the roof closed whatever the weather because of their players GPS! What would the 70s players have said about that?!

The 70's - probably the best decade of Welsh Rugby:

 

Part I

 

 

Part II

Another WRU legend has crossed 'into goal' : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17396494

Yes - but didn't watch it all.   Actually, there were several dropped goals last year (or maybe year before?) - I think a Welsh blunder (a needless - and useless - relieving kick in dying seconds - ball in hand would have done) set up O'Gara for a DG for O'Gara to win !

 

There was a successful one in yesterday's match - Scotland v France, and a couple of unsuccesful attempts on Staurday.

I assume you've got the 14 minute one. I think Gareth's drop goal is a thing of beauty. Too few drop goals in the modern game. Got all nostalgic and watched John Taylor taking "that" conversion against Scotland. Also been watching Jean-Pierre Rives (I had a crush on him back in the day) and remember little Jacques Fouroux?

Playground pouting now, eh?  

 

 

No fear, I found a couple of those videos too - here's the shorter one:

 

 

My aim in this Group is to create an interest in the game of rugby and the skills of the players - ON the field.
